Chapter 197 Blood and Bone Cult and Red Lantern Meeting
Just as they approached the Huang family.

Ye Yang suddenly heard a scream coming from all around, followed by the croaking of crows.

A group of dormant black crows flew across the sky, and the smell of blood filled the air.

The cultivator who was riding the demon horse was a little scared, and hurriedly pulled the reins to try to stop the horse's hooves, but the horse's eye had already been swallowed by a crow in mid-air.

Afterwards, the horse fell to the ground, and its internal organs were pecked out by the crows. Soon, only dry bones were left.

"Who dares to come to my Huang family and make trouble?"

In the convoy, a female voice with full strength spoke, shaking the star field.

Then, in the middle of the convoy, a bright yellow figure flashed and turned out to be an old lady.

Although she was short and fat with an old face, she was holding a dragon-headed crutch and had an extraordinary aura. She was obviously the old lady of the Huang family.

The old lady of the Huang family was very powerful. As soon as she appeared, countless fireballs shot out from her hands, chasing the crows away.

After a while, a sound was heard from the sky.

"The Huang family! Humph, the family whose red light I will turn off is the Huang family."

A stern female voice was heard, and then a woman in a white dress descended from the sky.

She had a haggard face and was about forty years old. She held a bamboo basket on her left arm. The basket was bound with a red silk rope, and inside it was a basket full of pitch-black crows.

Those crows were each as big as fists. They jumped out, cawing loudly, and rushed towards the crowd frantically.

After a while, several people were torn into pieces by the dark crows.

Ye Yang frowned. It turned out to be the person who gave the red light notice.

Before, the Red Lantern Society had been eradicated by Feitianmen and Fengyulou.

Unexpectedly, it has revived and reappeared in Shanhai City.

However, they promoted equal resources and abolished the banner of families and sects. There were many independent cultivators in Shanhai City, which was just right for development.

This was also within Ye Yang's expectations.

The old lady of the Huang family snorted coldly, rushed into the sky, and fought with the woman in the sky with a dragon-headed cane.

The dragon head spewed out unparalleled flames, forcing the man back dozens of feet away.

Another long shout was heard from the sky.

"Madam Huang, our Blood and Bone Cult is here, why don't you surrender immediately?"

After he finished speaking, a man swooped down from the sky.

He was skinny and emaciated, like a bat that had been drained of blood, with his bones clearly visible. In his hand he held a large club made of a human bone leg, and his aura was overwhelming.

Those servants were suppressed by his tremendous force, and all of them fell to their knees on the ground. Many of them collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

"The Blood and Bone Cult and the Red Lantern Society have appeared again. It seems that things are not simple."

These two organizations are brutal, bloodthirsty, vicious and cunning, and have destroyed countless sects and families.

The most crucial thing is that the other party, under the banner of equal resources, has attracted the response of countless grassroots cultivators. Even though they have been besieged by many sects over the years, they have never been exterminated. Instead, there is a trend of growing stronger and stronger.

Ye Yang was not going to take action. He had no hobby of showing off in front of others.

In addition, Feitianmen, the Blood and Bone Cult, and the Red Lantern Society are mortal enemies. He has only just met these people, so there is no need to expose himself to danger.

What's more, this place is close to the Huang family's territory. There are many masters in the Huang family. I'm afraid someone will come to support us soon.

Just as Ye Yang expected, in less than half an incense stick of time, a giant sword suddenly streaked across the sky in the distance.

The sword was wielded with perfect precision and was extremely sharp. The sword whistled and shot out two white streaks about a meter long, extremely sharp.

The sword light appeared out of nowhere, struck out like lightning, and quickly pierced the bat man through.

It was obvious that a master from the Huang family took action.

The old bat man was not dead even when the sword pierced his chest.

His whole body was twitching constantly, revealing an extremely strong vitality.

However, the sudden attack also frightened the two men. After dodging the dragon-headed crutch of the old lady of the Huang family, the two men laughed strangely and disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing the two men fleeing, the people from the Huang family did not chase after them.

Old Madam Huang had a kind heart like a bodhisattva. She walked into the crowd, distributed elixirs, and treated the seriously injured servants.

Afterwards, he walked to the corpses of horses that had been pecked by crows until only their bones were left, and silently recited the Sutra of Rebirth.

A quarter of an hour later, the Huang family's reinforcements followed this group of people and returned to the clan's territory.

Seeing this, Ye Yang quietly left the crowd and went to a hidden valley.

Seeing that there was no one around, Ye Yang took a long breath, demonic energy filled his body, and the sound of bones crackling could be heard.

His body moved for a while, and then grew rapidly. After a while, he turned into a muscular man who was over ten feet tall, with a fierce aura all over his body and cold starlight flashing in his eyes.

Ye Yang had been in contact with people from the Huang family before.

After Ye Yang sent the message out, a response soon came from within the Huang family.

After a while, two figures walked out from the yard, one of them was dressed in yellow and had a beautiful face.

She had a pair of big eyes, a small cherry mouth, and a cold face, which added a touch of cold nobility to her.

The other man was about forty years old, holding a broken knife, with gray hair and a weathered face.

They were the master and servant of the Huang family whom he had rescued in the ancient evil temple before.

When they saw Ye Yang coming, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.

"Senior, I have missed you often since we last met a few months ago. I didn't expect to see you again today." The girls from the Huang family looked excited. They were grateful to Ye Yang for rescuing them in the evil temple before.

They even regarded Ye Yang as an extraordinary master with extraordinary fighting ability, and wanted to leave a good impression in front of him.

Ye Yang said, "Why, is there any news?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Rui looked at Lin Wei beside her and then gave a bitter smile.

"To be honest, Senior, since we last parted, we have mobilized all our strength to try our best to find information about spiritual materials such as time, and we have indeed made some discoveries..."

"It's just that the item is expensive and the quantity is very small. I don't know if it can meet your needs."

Ye Yang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said: "Please tell me in detail."

Huang Rui said: "Senior, please come with me and I will report to you in detail."

After saying this, the master and servant took Ye Yang and slowly walked into an attic of the Huang family.

After a conversation, Ye Yang found out that the woman in yellow was the second daughter of the Huang family.

She is quite powerful and has reached the eighth level of Tongqi. She is also very popular in the Huang family. In Shanhai City, she runs a shop on her own.

The two of them mobilized their connections in Shanhai City to search for someone, and some time ago they found information about a grain of time sand.

At that time, the sand of time took a thousand years to form a grain after going through nine days of gloomy death atmosphere and the bright shining power of nine days of strong winds. It contained rich changes of time.

It was regarded as the finale item of the Jiutian Auction.

"Nine-day auction."

Ye Yang was not unfamiliar with this name.

He had a lot of contact with the Jiutian Auction, and the Feitian Sect's Flying Silver Banded Manta Ray was obtained from the Jiutian Auction.

Ye Yang pondered for a moment. The fact that this item could be auctioned at Jiutian Auction meant that it was genuine, but once it was auctioned, it also meant that it was very expensive.

But this grain of sand of time concerns his chance of enlightenment and must not be ignored.

Ye Yang's expression was as calm as water. The two of them tried their best to find any change in Ye Yang's emotions, but they could not see anything.

After a long while, Huang Rui said, "Senior, in half a month, it will be the Jiutian Auction's semi-annual auction. We were just worrying about how to find you, but we never expected you to come to us in advance."

Ye Yang nodded: "The light sand is extremely mysterious. If it appears, there will definitely be more than one grain. Miss, please help me continue searching."

A grain of time sand is not enough to refine a magic weapon. In fact, he wants to find the person behind the sand. However, this method still needs careful planning.

The two looked at each other, and Huang Rui took out a storage bag.

"Here are a thousand spirit stones. Senior, you saved us two before, and I haven't had time to thank you yet. I hope you won't refuse these golden and white things."

Huang Rui was insightful and knew that Ye Yang would attend the auction, so she took out some spirit stones in advance as a thank you.

Ye Yang hesitated for a moment, and although he wanted to refuse, he still accepted it.

After all, he didn't know how many spirit stones were needed to capture the sand of time.

Naturally, the more spirit stones you prepare in advance, the better.

……

After this happened, the two decided to let Ye Yang stay at home for a few days to rest.

But Ye Yang refused.

After leaving the Huang family, Ye Yang moved away from the crowd and soon arrived at the auction house of the Jiutian Chamber of Commerce in Shanhai City.

Perhaps it was because the large-scale auction held every six months was approaching, so there was a constant stream of people coming in and out of the Jiutian Auction Hall.

Ye Yang did not change his body shape, and still maintained his two-meter-tall body. Seeing his tall figure and overwhelming demonic aura, many cultivators made way for him to pass.

Many people also pointed fingers.

"Does this person have the blood of an ancient giant? Why is he so strong and huge?"

"The demonic energy is overwhelming, and the murderous aura is as real as substance. He must be a cruel and ruthless person."

"Brother Zhang, be careful with your words."

……

Ye Yang looked back, and those people didn't dare to speak anymore after being stared at by him.

But under his intense gaze, beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead.

……

As soon as Ye Yang walked in, a maid brought tea and placed it on the table.

"I don't know whether you are here to submit or to participate in the auction."

Ye Yang said: "Of course I am participating in the auction. Bring me the auction brochure as soon as possible."

When the maid heard what Ye Yang said, she quickly took out a jade auction book.

The entire booklet was green and smooth. Ye Yang injected his spiritual consciousness into it and slowly opened it. At the first glance, many rare treasures appeared.

The further you look back, the higher the prices of these treasures become.

After a while, Ye Yang finally found his target.

The Sand of Time, a star stone that fell from the sky, is nurtured by the Yin and Yang forces of the strong wind and undergoes thousands of changes in time before it can be condensed into one grain. The starting price is four thousand spirit stones.

This item is precious. Even with so much manpower and resources, only this one was found in Shanhai City.

But even so, the price is extraordinary.
